. Some nights enter our lives quietly and then stay with us forever—unexpected, unforgettable, and impossible not to smile about when we remember them. In my previous post, I wrote about the launch of The Art of Detachment in Madrid a couple of weeks ago—a magical evening surrounded by extraordinary people, where I had the […]
I agree with the person who said he preferred the future. After all, that’s where we’re going to spend the rest of our lives, right? Hmmm. Not so fast as the only instant we live in is the here and now. Definitely [...]
I have a signal from my body that you could help me interpret: it’s getting worse every year! That is, either the viruses are getting more and more powerful (like influenza), or I am not getting any younger. There could be a [...]
Steve Jobs defined design first in relation to operation and not appearance, so it is not difficult to understand his successes for so many years. Form and substance must tell their genesis from the very same creative moment. Einstein said it and [...]
From the book by Armando Vargas Araya, La Vía Costarricense, published by EUNED in 2005, this is a wonderfully inspiring text as it initiates a broad, open and participatory process. What is La Via Costarricense? It is a dynamic conceptual tool to [...]

On Incae ‘s last visit to Tribu DDB, who rightfully become a tribe for life, at the close of the activity I was asked, “Did you know that there is another Tribu Group?”, and of course my answer was negative amidst immediate [...]
The country would be different if instead of a parliament we had an ombudsman(I heard this from Otto Peraza a few years ago). If we were given two ears that listen and a mouth that speaks, wouldn’t that be a clear and [...]
